"The Anointing of God removes burdens, and destroys the yoke of sin, (the curse), which is sickness, poverty, and spiritual death."
LIFE IN YOUR BODY
( Romans 8:11)
The work of the Holy Spirit is to quicken our mortal bodies. The word quicken here is the Greek word “zoopoieo” which means; TO MAKE LIFE. In fact when we begin to study this word out, we see where “zoo” is actually derived from the word Zoe which means the very life of God Himself.
Glory to God; Think about that for a moment. The day we confess Jesus Christ as our Lord, we receive the Holy Spirit. The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to MAKE GODS LIFE manifest in our mortal bodies.

God is eternal; therefore His life is not subject to death. Sickness and disease are death in progress, so therefore Gods life is not subject to sickness, and disease. In fact we could safely say that Gods life is FREE from any oppressive work of the devil.
The truth is His life overcomes and destroys sickness and disease. (John 1:4-5) This LIFE of God, which is LIFE in the absolute sense, can be at work in you by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Some people have thought that Paul, in Romans 8:11, was referring to the resurrection of the saints. The day the Lord Jesus returns, the dead in Christ will rise first, and we which are alive will be caught up together with them. (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17) Even though the rapture of the saints is a scriptural truth, we would be taking Romans 8:11 out of context if we placed this interpretation on it.
I encourage you to read Romans chapters 6,7, and 8 together and you will see that Paul was revealing what the Holy Spirit is doing now in our bodies, not what He will do in the future.
The word “mortal” (thneta in the Greek) here in Romans 8:11 actually means “subject to death, but not yet dead.” According to Romans 5:12, death entered into the world by sin. Again, sickness is death in progress. Sin is the reason our bodies became subject to sickness, disease, and death.
Romans 8:2 now reveals that the “...Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE ME FREE from the law of sin and death.”.

2 Corinthians 4:11 says “For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be MADE MANIFEST in our mortal (or subject to death) flesh.”
John Calvin an excellent Greek scholar once said “The quickening of the mortal body here cannot refer to the resurrection of the saints, but must mean a giving of life to their bodies while here upon earth through the Spirit.”
The work of the Holy Spirit is to keep making Zoe life in our bodies. He is not to work death. God has been given a black eye over the years. He was the one blamed for all the sicknesses, diseases and death in this world. It is contrary to what Romans 8:11 reveals to us.
2 Corinthians 3:6 says; “. . .the spirit giveth LIFE.”
Sickness is the result of sin entering into the world. In fact He has made away for us to receive His life to combat and make us free from sickness, disability, deformity, and disease.
Unfortunately He can be, and will be hindered from doing this work, if we do not cooperate with Him. Paul further explains the work of the Holy Spirit in verse 26 of Romans chapter 8; “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought but the Spirit itself (Himself) maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
Paul describes how the Holy Spirit makes life in our bodies. The word “helpeth” (sunantilambanetai in the Greek) means to “take hold together with, against”. Paul is saying that the Spirit will take hold together with someone against their infirmities.
The Holy Spirit will make life, to work against the sicknesses, diseases and weaknesses that plague your body, if YOU take hold together with Him.

God does not place sickness on you!
Sickness is the result of sin entering into the world. In fact He has made away for us to receive His life to combat and make us free from sickness, disability, deformity, and disease.
Glory to God, this must be forever settled in your heart. The work of the Holy Spirit is to make “LIFE IN YOUR BODY”

Who does He take hold together with?
YOU!
He must work together with YOU to successfully come against your infirmity. The word “infirmities”(astheneiais in the Greek) means sickness, disease, and weaknesses. The Holy Spirit will make life, to work against the sicknesses, diseases and weaknesses that plague your body, if YOU take hold together with Him.
He will make health, instead of sickness, strength instead of weakness, and life instead of death.
We must do our part! How do we do this? We do this by hearing, believing, and abiding in His Word.
In John 8:31-32 Jesus said to those who believe; “. . .If ye continue in my word than you are my disciples indeed. And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
According to John 14:17 the Holy Spirit IS The Spirit of Truth. Therefore we can conclude that the Spirit of truth, will make us FREE from sickness and disease if we take hold together with Him by continuing in His Word.
Yes, PRAISE GOD, we can expect to walk free from sickness and disease today. We can expect healing and divine health to be an active part of our life. The Holy Spirit is here and available to release the very life of God Himself into your body making you free!
Take hold together with Him today by abiding in His Word, and out of your heart will flow the issues of life, bringing health and medicine to all your flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-23)
